I am working on 6 quilts right now. I do what I feel each time I quilt. I did 19 for Christmas and 9 of them 2 weeks before Christmas. Let him try to do one small one, but you pick the fabric and see how he does. You have to be a quilter to understand

Two tops finished waiting to be quilted; 5 sets of blocks ready to make the tops; one that needs a few blocks yet to start sewing the top; a few more in early stages of piecing and a gazillion in my mind yet to be started. Plus many small projects in UFO state.

Well I thought I was the only one who quilted so many at a time. I usually finish them before the year is out, but I am working on a king size for my son and have been working on it for at least a year. It is easier to start a quilt then to complete one. I am not alone. I am so happy for this board. I enjoy the conversations.

I have one on the frame that I'm hand quilting, another one in the piecing stages, two antique Sunbonnet Sue quilts to finish for relatives and about eight projects waiting to be started- patterns and fabric already purchased.
This is where UFOs come from, see? :D

It is nice to have a caring mate. I had a male friend who would go fabric shopping with me when I lived in VA but now I live in Ga and go shopping with one of my students sometimes her husband drives us, but he stays in the car. We always get at least fabric the same, we sew 5 days a week for about 4 or 5 hours a day. Makes to nice to share. I am trying to get her on this board, it is so interesting.
